On the Pandaria Continent, the massive melee outside the Great Wall continued unabated.
The Mantid of the Grand Empress faction had basically been beaten into dogs under the joint siege of every faction in the world. Their actual territory kept shrinking, and the allied punitive forces could now faintly see the towering amber tree where the Imperial Court of the Heart of Fear stood. That was the core of the Grand Empress faction's Mantid.
It was hardly surprising that the Mantid had ended up in such a miserable state. Even if their race was fierce by nature, fought bravely, possessed decent individual strength and the ability to fly, and even had ancient champions, colossal amber beasts, and sophisticated advanced ultrasonic weapons—
—they still could not withstand the entire world coming to attack them. The adventurer community alone was enough to make them suffer.
Whoever became the enemy of all would die. Back then, Queen Azshara, the Light of Lights, held absolute power and dominated the entire Kalimdor Continent. She was far more impressive than some village-chief-level Grand Empress of the Mantid, wasn't she? And how did she end up?
So don't get too carried away just because things are lively now. Be careful when the reckoning comes; what is yours will find you.
Meanwhile, next to the Terrace of Endless Spring, in the Valley of the Mantid, the region could now be completely renamed the Mogu Plateau.
The main Mantid forces in the area, along with every Mantid living there, were suffering a total rout. They kept retreating, surrendering the entire plateau to the two restored Mogu dynasties.
Fine, fine, take it all! Is that enough for you?
The Mantid did indeed quiet down after abandoning this land, but the two Mogu Empires that acquired it immediately exploded into conflict.
